The answers cover how the vaults are sized, how long goods can stay and what happens when you want them delivered. ## Vault basics ### How big is a storage vault? A vault measures 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft. The [vault storage page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/vault-storage/) explains how furniture and boxes are loaded into one. ### How much does vault storage cost? Vault storage starts at $40 per month. The total follows the number of vaults your belongings fill. ### Is storage in a warehouse or in a unit I visit? Your goods stay in the O'Brien's warehouse, which covers 30,000 sq ft at the same Sparks site as the office and truck yard. It is a full-service model, so the crew loads and delivers. ### How is vault storage different from self storage? The crew loads the vaults and brings the goods back when you ask, while self storage leaves the loading to you. The [comparison guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/vault-storage-vs-self-storage/) sets out the differences. ## Time and delivery ### How much notice do you need to deliver my stored goods? About 2 to 3 weeks. That is how far ahead the O'Brien's schedule generally books, so call early when you know your delivery date. ### Can I store things for a short time only? Yes. Short-term storage between homes is available, and it is described on the [storage between moves page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-between-moves/). ### Can I store things for years? Yes. Long-term household storage is handled the same way, and monthly billing follows the vault count. ## Business and special storage ### Can a business store files and records? Yes. File and records storage is part of the warehouse service, and the [records storage page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/records-storage/) describes it. ### Do military households use vault storage? Yes. O'Brien's is DOD approved to move and store military household goods, and the [military storage page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/military-storage/) explains how orders and the Personal Property Office fit in. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [Nevada Transportation Authority](https://nta.nv.gov/) - [eCFR, 49 CFR Part 375, Transportation of Household Goods](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-III/subchapter-B/part-375) ### Free in-home estimate - An O'Brien's estimator walks through your home - A written, itemized estimate - 10 free heavy-duty boxes, yours to keep [How our estimates work](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/how-our-estimates-work/) ### Visit or call the office 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks, NV 89431 [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) | Monday to Friday | 8:00 am to 5:00 pm | | --- | --- | | Saturday and Sunday | Closed | [Get my free estimate](#estimate) ### Related - [Full-service vault storage in Sparks](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/) - [Vault storage: how 7 x 7 x 5 ft wooden vaults work](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/vault-storage/) - [Storage vault sizer](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/storage-vault-sizer/) More questions ## Other question pages - [### FAQ: Estimates and pricing](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/estimates-and-pricing/) - [### FAQ: Valuation and claims](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/valuation-and-claims/) - [### FAQ: Packing and boxes](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/packing-and-boxes/) - [### FAQ: Long-distance moves and Bekins](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/long-distance-and-bekins/) - [### FAQ: Moves inside Nevada and to California](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/nevada-and-california-moves/) - [### FAQ: Military moves](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/military-moves/) - [### FAQ: Commercial and FF&E](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/commercial-and-ffe/) - [### FAQ: Pianos, hot tubs and specialty items](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/specialty-items/) - [### FAQ: Scheduling, seasons and winter moves](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/scheduling-and-winter/) - [### FAQ: International moves](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/international/) - [### FAQ: Senior moves](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/senior-moves/) - [### FAQ: Moving to Reno](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/moving-to-reno/) - [### FAQ: Licenses and insurance](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/licenses-and-insurance/) - [### FAQ: Payment and paperwork](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/payment-and-paperwork/) - [### FAQ: Moving at Lake Tahoe and Truckee](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/lake-tahoe-and-truckee/) ## 4.3 stars from 71 Google reviews What customers say about O'Brien's [Read more reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/)[See them on Google](https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=17335326057105140938) F Francie H. February 20, 2026 We were referred to O'Brien's Moving and Storage though a friend in Reno. We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future. ### Owner's reply Francie, Thank you for this amazing review. The result you have expressed is exactly what we all strive to accomplish. I love that you walked away knowing you are now a part of the O'Brien's family, whenever you need us we are a phone call away! I will let the movers know about the kind words expressed about them, that will be very satisfying for all of them. We will look forward to any referrals you send our way, thank you for the opportunity! M Mark S. January 22, 2026 Great company and local. They take great care of your moving needs. They are very accommodating and quick to respond. Highly recommend them for your moving needs and storage needs. Thanks to the O'Brien team for doing a fantastic job. G Greg S. January 22, 2025 3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again. ### Owner's reply Thanks for the great review Greg! We really appreciate you taking the time to do that for us. We look forward to working with you again! ## Get your free, in-home moving estimate An estimator visits, walks through everything and gives you a written, itemized estimate. Rather talk?
